Fake Cable Turns YouTube Into a Television Schedule
A browser-based player turns YouTube channels, playlists, and videos into an always-on cable lineup with channels, programs, guide listings, and commercial breaks.
Field notes
Fake Cable assigns YouTube sources to numbered stations and generates program schedules from the lineup rather than simply presenting a queue. Its clock resets at midnight Eastern, and the page says viewers with identical station content receive the same programming at the same moment. The tool also supports mixes that hide their source stations, optional commercial playlists, automatic skipping of unavailable videos, and a phone remote that requires neither an account nor a separate app.
